However, I will make the comment that with my characters, for them to use another character's name is significant because they are thinking of that character as another person rather than as just another feature of the landscape.Matthew Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-10627751060088327292014-08-27T07:09:24.097+12:002014-08-27T07:09:24.097+12:00It's funny how it works, isn't it!

It almost always has an effect on the person and they suddenly become more friendly and open to help out. I did it over the phone sometimes too when I called in different places, and immediately noticed an effect in the way people relate to you. I can tell they are pleasantly surprised. :) Rebekah @ Heritage of Gracehttp://heritageofgrace.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-50857756491623509772014-08-26T11:53:56.023+12:002014-08-26T11:53:56.023+12:00Here is my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Cr...Here is my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CrochetedCelebration?ref=hdr_shop_menu<br />I sell mostly crocheted party favors, but I sell other things as well. :)<br />Have a glorious evening!<br />~Sarah Margaret♥Sarah Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14331141670473223853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-13949591476139623002014-08-26T08:06:31.496+12:002014-08-26T08:06:31.496+12:00I suppose it just depends on the situation, really...I suppose it just depends on the situation, really. :)Bonnie Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920875696870120137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-36068522217679349192014-08-26T07:48:10.898+12:002014-08-26T07:48:10.898+12:00I was wearing one but he said it in a way as if he...I was wearing one but he said it in a way as if he knew me :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00553162866538050921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-2516787317645486112014-08-25T18:00:09.077+12:002014-08-25T18:00:09.077+12:00Thanks for commenting, MorningTime4!

I was in a situation like that except slightly different-- in fact, there was this old lady who spoke very little English, and I helped her with push one of those barrel rolls dispensers of tissue paper in a public bathroom. She tried to communicate to me what my name was (I didn't understand her) but when I did, she said, "Thank you." It was real sweet :)<br /><br />xoxo Morning<br />http://theworldthroughmywindowsill.blogspot.com/Abigail Lennahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629691351291882685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-18304427141273665772014-08-25T13:53:49.046+12:002014-08-25T13:53:49.046+12:00Definitely, Sarah!

But I think that if that happened you would probably assume that he read it off your name tag if you were wearing one, and if you weren't, then he probably knew you. :)Bonnie Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920875696870120137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-77718649129516190332014-08-25T12:11:12.000+12:002014-08-25T12:11:12.000+12:00Wow!
